With his arms draped around two, and sporting a pair of sunglasses to cover up a black eye, McGregor seemed to be in relatively high spirits.

Once his impromptu photoshoot was finished, McGregor went inside the club with his entourage, no doubt to enjoy a calm Irish whiskey or two.

While the fighting game is tough to say the least, it certainly has its perks.

After his defeat at welterweight, McGregor shared a poetic and inspired message, similar to the aura he had created in the lead up to the bout — dream big.

“I stormed in and put it all on the line. I took a shot and missed. I will never apologise for taking a shot. I’ll take this loss like a man. I will not shy away from it. I will not change who I am. If another champion goes up 2 weights let me know,” McGregor posted on Instagram on Monday.

“To the fans! Never, ever shy away from challenges. Never run from adversity. Face yourself head-on.”
